As a first step make sure the pipe from the top of the RAD to the expansion tank is clear. then do a site search as it has been covered many times.
Forgot to add a duff water pump is another possibility.

Also worth checking the viscose fan coupling. Waterpumps I've replaced on 2 cars both needed new coupling as well.

Island 4x4 sell a nice new water pump with proper metal impellar! Far better than the plastic version which falls off the shaft or falls to bits after a few years.
